7 0

The general probability is 1/8. For it to be applicable to 32 women, one must multiply 4 to the numerator and denominator.

The final probability would be (1x4)/(8x4) which is 4/32.

Therefore, 4 women would be the answer.

Please help <br> The diagram shows a 5ft student standing near a tree
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows two triangles that are similar.  Similar triangles have equal angles and sides that are proportional to each other.  Since the base of each triangle is given, we can find the proportion of the sides:

\frac{smaller}{larger}=\frac{8}{40}=\frac{1}{5}

Given the ratio of the smaller to larger triangle, we can set up a proportion to find the missing height of the larger triangle:

\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5}{x}, where 'x' represent the height of the tree

cross-multiply:  x = (5)(5) or 25 ft

A Right Triangle (ABC) has sides measuring 3 inches and 4 inches. The hypotenuse is 5 inches. A similar right triangle (A'B'C')
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The length of hypotenuse is 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First 7.5 x 7.5 = 56.25

Then 10 x 10 = 100

Add them together 56.25 + 100 = 156.25

Then square root 156.25 and you get 12.5

The coffee counter charges ?"$11.00" per pound for kenyan french roast coffee and ?"$13.00" per pound for sumatra coffee. How mu
zloy xaker [14]

Answer: The answer is 13 ponds of each type should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the coffee counter charges $11.00 per pound for kenyan french roast coffee and $13.00 per pound for sumatra coffee. We are to find the quantity of each type that should be used to make a 26 pound blend that sells for $12.00 per pound.

Let 'x' pound and 'y' pound of  kenyan french roast coffee and sumatra coffee be used in the mixture of 26 pound.

So, we have

x+y=26,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(A)\\\\11x+13y=12\times 26.~~~~~~~~~~(B)

Multiplying equation (A) by 11 and subtracting from equation (B), we have

13y-11y=12\times26-11\times26\\\\\Rightarrow 2y=26\\\\\Rightarrow y=13,

and from equation (A),

x=26-13=13.

Thus, 13 pounds of each type of coffee should be used.
